Can i use my HW?

Hi Guys,

I have a Potterton Puma 80 Combi which is presently switched off as i am doing some work on my rads. I have a damaged pipe (seperate thread) so at the minute this pipe is open to the air (i.e. not fastened to a rad or capped off).

This may be a stupid question but i want to be sure before i go and do it. I want to turn the Boiler back on for the domestic HW supply, is it alright to do this? I assume that as they are seperate no water should come gushing out of my damaged pipe if i turn the HW back on?

They might be "Seperate" but don't even think about using your boiler for hot water when the heating has been drained.
